Every paragraphs are enclosed by
<p class="calibre_11">paragraph1</p>.

before every 1st breakline
in every paragraphs?

1. the necessary tools and
2. the method
to make this change:

Find and replace all

different contents
<br class="calibre1"/> // want to insert a semicolon before the 1st breakline
meaning1
<br class="calibre1"/> // other breaklines remain unchanged

</p>

to

I take it I got it right then.

Somebody gave me this java script:

CODE

[].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.calibre_11 br:first-of-type'), function (e) {
  e.insertAdjacentText('beforebegin', ';')
})

I want to change the dictionary.ePub into AnkiDecks .apkg file.
Anki only accept importing .txt file in UTF-8.
Your file not in in UTF-8 doesn’t get right.

It is nothing bad for you to own "Collins Concise German-English Dictionary.apkg".
I can send you a copy after it is done.

This is an example of a valid file:

CODE

entry1; meanings; optional; optional; ...
entry2; meanings; optional; optional; ...
entry3; meanings; optional; optional; ...

  e.insertAdjacentText('beforebegin', ';')
})

Note that any changes made by javascript are just temporary. Also insertAdjacentText is a new feature, with limited browser support.

I want to change the dictionary.ePub into AnkiDecks .apkg file.

Seems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anki_(software) does use HTML, but I don't know if it supports javascript too?
